| | Hint | As soon as the male recognizes the female, he jumps on her without any courtship. Even if the female trys to catch the male, the male jumps fast and skilful on her back, so that she is not able to nab him. After copulation the male remains on the female (up to 4 hours).
The nymphs are very small and need least food (e.g. springtails or D. melanogaster). |
